Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to provide a model for Neurocognitive training and development of human resources. Using the multi-grounded theory (MGT) method, a systematic review of the background of the research was carried out in a meta-composite way and interviews with 21 experts were conducted using purposeful and snowball sampling methods and having specific criteria. A Neurocognitive approaches in human resource development, including 73 concepts and 18 subcategories in 6 main-categories, was presented. In this research, the causes and drivers of neurocognitive use in human resource development were examined in micro and macro. The central category was conceptualized as neurocognitive talent management and individual development, and the intervening factors were identified as ethical, human, instrumental, environmental and organizational challenges. According to the opinion of the experts, strategies were set at three individual, organizational and national levels, and it was predicted that the model of training and development of neuroscience of human resources would lead to consequences in theorizing, neurological self-awareness and organizational Neurocognitive development. Finally, taking into account the rapid evolution of organizational technologies, future trends were categorized into three categories: convergence of technologies, interdisciplinary studies, and paradigm shift. The experts emphasized that the gradual use of neurocognitive tools by human resource development experts and consultants, the allocation of funds at the organizational and national level to conduct and support interdisciplinary research, and to create awareness and knowledge to conduct research professionally and repeat it before generalizing are the most important duties in HR Neurocognitive L&D programs
